POJECT DESCRIPTION
This collection of 3D design products is comprised of 3 bronze bowls, an ash stool, and an ash dining chair.
The pieces of the collection are all bound by a few different elements – all share a sense of mood, drama and a common language of form found in motion.
The angular yet fluid pieces are inspired by sharks and the way they move through the water.
The development of the collection started with material experimentation, combining materials and processes to see what would happen. Through this, certain effects were produced which resemble a similar atmosphere to the inspiration photographs used as a mood board during the collections conception.
